  • Are you feeling better Bob? if not please have a cup of tea. I am having some too. Tetley decaff (i know stupid aren't i?) is fab.

    Well i am not down, i got some things off my chest, but don't feel good doing it.:o It is to do with my parents ( i am sure you sympathize on that score)

    Tetley decaff???:eek:I need full strength and then it has to be strong enough to trot a mouse across it.:D:rotfl:

  • Hmm, also just happen to be watching 'Allo, Allo'-it is the episode where they are painting 'The Fallen Madonna' with the big boobies= maybe Z's inspiration?

    Well no, you're not doing it for entertainment, but for necessity.

    I'm lucky in that both my parents are normal and well-adjusted. Well plus or minus:- consider who they have as a son...

    Bob Sometimes people evoke a really strong reaction in us. Sometimes they don't even have to do anything. I can't join the batty mothers group but I do have a father who can create an argument in an empty room!

    Is Z good at laying patio's then or something else? :D

    I'll vouch for Z - always was a glutton for punishment :D

    Bob - no patio here but am a whizz with a spade - chin up chicken & try not to waste energy on negative peeps. I've recently put some of my rellies on a quarterly rather than monthly visiting plan - much better ;)
